Issue 216, our ‘Britain at home’ issue, is now on sale

    From quaint historic cottages to fashionable Arts & Crafts homes, while we’re spending more time than ever in our armchairs, how better to explore Britain than from the inside, out

    These are strange times indeed and this edition of Discover Britain has been brought to you from our kitchen tables and home offices. We hope that even if you are unable to travel freely at the moment, we can offer you plenty of escapism through our pages for you to enjoy from the comfort of your armchair.

    We decided to begin by looking at the British home in this issue too, showing you how great minds such as Oscar Wilde and William Morris shaped interior design and giving you a guided tour around the very best of England’s quaint historic cottages.

    Then it was time to head to the coast to discover Britain’s most stylish 20th-century Art Deco designs, and navigate the tumultuous story of the Mayflower, which in 2020 celebrates 400 years since it set sail into the New World.

    Our London section is full of insider knowledge and hidden gems as usual, this time taking you from Piccadilly Circus to the cultural centre and architectural masterpiece that is the Barbican, and finally underground at Covent Garden, where in recent years some of Hollywood’s biggest blockbusters have been filmed.
